I don't know why Roger (Maris) isn't in the hall of fame. To me, he was as good as there ever was.
It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.
Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.
A lot of people wrote that Roger (Maris) and I didn't like each other and that we didn't get along. Nothing could be further from the truth.
